Archaea can respond to changes in the environment by altering the composition of their membrane lipids, for example, by modification of the abundance and composition of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs). Here, we investigated the abundance and proportions of polar GDGTs (P-GDGTs) and core GDGTs (C-GDGTs) sampled in different seasons from Tengchong hot springs (Yunnan, China), which ...

to evaluate the hydrogeochemical characteristics of karst water resources of oshtorankooh, chemistry details of springs has been considered as the most important evacuator of karst resources. this research has been performed to study hydrogeochemical nature of karst springs and their origin with an emphasis on the type of formation.  accordingly, five samples of the water of permanent springs o...

The Geneva group had earlier found factors linking transcription activation to the nuclear pore. They now use a nuclease fused to a nuclear pore protein, which clips any DNA that comes to the nuclear pore for a visit. The regions preferentially cleaved by the nuclease were just upstream of 40% of genes on chromosome VI. Constitutively expressed genes use different promoter elements and may not ...

it is at once evident that the author endeavours to answer the ancient questions: "What is Art? What is Man?" To achieve this goal he pursues innumerable fields of study and first directs his efforts to the Old and New Testament. He views these stories as epics written by poets. With the help of numerous quotations from the Bible and from elsewhere he convinces us that we are dominated by the O...

Introduction: Hydrochemical properties of waters used in balneotherapy are very important, as they play a key role in success or failure of this kind of treatment. There are 30 mineral and hot spas in Hormozgan Province, Southern Iran, which are traditionally used for treating diseases. In this study, hydrochemical properties of Fotoyeh and Sanguyeh Springs, in western Hormozgan Province, are d...

Vickers Hot Springs is located near the rural Southern California town of Ojai, and local residents have long enjoyed soaking in the sulfuric pools. But as knowledge of the springs spread, the area saw increases in fights, traffic, burglaries, and drug use. In response, two residents purchased the land and committed to restore the property while allowing limited public access, subsequently gene...
